Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for the preparation of dual-specific ligands comprising a first single immunoglobulin variable domain region binding to a first antigen or epitope, and a second complementary immunoglobulin single variable domain region binding to a second antigen or epitope. Dual-specific ligands and their uses are also described.
  • the antigen binding domain of an antibody comprises two separate regions: a heavy chain variable domain (NH) and a light chain variable domain (NL: which can be either N K or V ⁇ ).
  • the antigen binding site itself is formed by six polypeptide loops: three from NH domain (HI, H2 and H3) and three from NL domain (Ll, L2 and L3).
  • a diverse primary repertoire of N genes that encode the NH and NL domains is produced by the combinatorial rearrangement of gene segments.
  • the NH gene is produced by the recombination of three gene segments, NH, D and JH- In humans, there are approximately 51 functional NH segments (Cook and Tomlinson (1995) Immunol Today, 16: 237), 25 functional D segments (Corbett et al. (1997) J.
  • the NH segment encodes the region of the polypeptide chain which forms the first and second antigen binding loops of the NH domain (HI and H2), whilst the NH, D and JH segments combine to form the third antigen binding loop of the NH domain (H3).
  • the N gene is produced by the recombination of only two gene segments, NL and JL. In humans, there are approximately 40 functional N ⁇ segments (Schable and Zachau (1993) Biol. Chem. Hoppe-Seyler, 374: 1001), 31 functional V ⁇ segments (Williams et al.
  • the NL segment encodes the region of the polypeptide chain which forms the first and second antigen binding loops of the NL domain (Ll and L2), whilst the NL and JL segments combine to form the third antigen binding loop of the VL domain (L3).
  • Antibodies selected from this primary repertoire are believed to be sufficiently diverse to bind almost all antigens with at least moderate affinity.
  • High affinity antibodies are produced by "affinity maturation" of the rearranged genes, in which point mutations are generated and selected by the immune system on the basis of improved binding.
  • H3 region is much more diverse in terms of sequence, length and structure (due to the use of D segments), it also forms a limited number of main-chain conformations for short loop lengths which depend on the length and the presence of particular residues, or types of residue, at key positions in the loop and the antibody framework (Martin et al. (1996) J. Mol. Biol, 263: 800; Shirai et al. (1996) FEBS Letters, 399: 1.
  • Bispecific antibodies comprising complementary pairs of VH and VL regions are known in the art. These bispecific antibodies must comprise two pairs of VH and VLs, each VH/NL pair binding to a single antigen or epitope. Methods described involve hybrid hybridomas (Milstein & Cuello AC, Nature 305:537-40), minibodies (Hu et al, (1996) Cancer Res 56:3055-3061;), diabodies (Holliger et al, (1993) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 90, 6444-6448; WO 94/13804), chelating recombinant antibodies (CRAbs; (Neri et al, (1995) J. Mol. Biol.
  • each antibody species comprises two antigen-binding sites, each fashioned by a complementary pair of VH and VL domains. Each antibody is thereby able to bind to two different antigens or epitopes at the same time, with the binding to EACH antigen or epitope mediated by a VH AND its complementary VL domain.
  • WO 02/02773 (Abbott Laboratories), published after the priority date of the present application, describes antibody molecules with "dual specificity".
  • the antibody molecules referred to are antibodies raised or selected against multiple antigens, such that their specificity spans more than a single antigen.
  • Each complementary VH/V L pair in the antibodies of WO 02/02773 specifies a single binding specificity for two or more structurally related antigens; the VH and V L domains in such complementary pairs do not each possess a separate specificity.
  • the antibodies thus have a broad single specificity which encompasses two antigens, which are structurally related.
  • natural autoantibodies have been described that are polyreactive (Casali & Notkins, Ann. Rev. Immunol.
  • Protein engineering methods have been suggested that may have a bearing on this.
  • a catalytic antibody could be created with a binding activity to a metal ion through one variable domain, and to a hapten (substrate) through contacts with the metal ion and a complementary variable domain (Barbas et al., 1993 Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci USA 90, 6385-6389).
  • the binding and catalysis of the substrate is proposed to require the binding of the metal ion (second antigen).
  • the binding to the VH VL pairing relates to a single but multi- component antigen.
  • Single heavy chain variable domains have also been described, derived from natural antibodies which are normally associated with light chains (from monoclonal antibodies or from repertoires of domains EP-A-0368684). It was suggested to make bispecific antibody fragments by linking heavy chain variable domains of different specificity together (as described above).
  • the disadvantage with this approach is that isolated antibody variable domains may have a hydrophobic interface that normally makes interactions with the light chain and is exposed to solvent and may be "sticky" allowing the single domain to bind to hydrophobic surfaces.
  • the heavy chain variable domains would not be associated with complementary light chain variable domains and thus may be less stable and readily unfold (Worn & Pluckthun, 1998 Biochemistry 37, 13120-7).
  • the inventors have realised that it is desirable to make bispecific antibodies in which the binding of a first antigen or epitope does not necessarily facilitate the binding of a second antigen or epitope. They have also realised that the solution lies in creating binding contacts for the first antigen or epitope in one variable domain, and binding contacts for the second antigen or epitope in another variable domain, the domains being selected so that they are mutually complementary, and that further significant advantages over the bispecific antibodies of the prior art may be derived by bringing together complementary single variable domains of differing specificities; for example, a heavy chain variable domain that binds to a first antigen or epitope with a light chain variable domain that binds to a second antigen or epitope. Thus each VH/NL pair has two binding specificities. These combinations of domains are referred to as 'dual-specific' ligands.
  • the inventors have found that the use of complementary variable domains allows the two domain surfaces to pack together and be sequestered from the solvent. Furthermore the complementary domains are able to stabilise each other. In addition, it allows the creation of dual-specific IgG antibodies without the disadvantages of hybrid hybridomas previously discussed, or the need to engineer heavy or light chains at the sub-unit interfaces.
  • the dual-specific ligands of the present invention have at least one VH/NL pair.
  • a bispecific IgG according to this invention will therefore comprise two such pairs, one pair on each arm of the Y-shaped molecule.
  • bi-specific molecules can be created in two different ways. Firstly, they can be created by association of two existing VH/VL pairings that each bind to a different antigen or epitope (for example, in a bi-specific IgG). In this case the VH/VL pairings must come all together in a 1:1 ratio in order to create a population of molecules all of which are bi-specific. This never occurs (even when complementary CH domain is enhanced by "knobs into holes” engineering) leading to a mixture of bi-specific molecules and molecules that are only able to bind to one antigen or epitope but not the other.
  • the second way of creating a bi-specific antibody is by the simultaneous association of two different VH chain with two different VL chains (for example in a bi-specific diabody).
  • Bi-specific antibodies constructed according to the dual-specific ligand approach according to the present invention overcome all of these problems because the binding to antigen or epitope 1 resides within the VH or VL domain and the binding to antigen or epitope 2 resides with the complementary VL or VH domain, respectively. Since VH and VL domains pair on a 1:1 basis all VH/NL pairings will be bi-specific and thus all formats constructed using these VH/NL pairings (Fv, scFvs, Fabs, minibodies, IgGs etc) will have 100% bi-specific activity.
  • the present invention provides a method for producing a dual- specific ligand comprising a first single immunoglobulin variable domain having a first binding specificity and a complementary immunoglobulin single variable domain having a second binding specificity, the method comprising the steps of: (a) selecting a first variable domain by its ability to bind to a first epitope,
  • first and second “epitopes” are understood to be epitopes which are not the same and are not bound by a single monospecific ligand. They may be on different antigens or on the same antigen, but separated by a sufficient distance that they do not form a single entity that could be bound by a single mono-specific VH/V L binding pair of a conventional antibody.
  • domain antibodies or dAbs are separately competed by a monospecific V H /V L ligand against two epitopes then those two epitopes are not sufficiently far apart to be considered separate epitopes according to the present invention.
  • the dual specific ligands of the invention do not include ligands as described in WO 02/02773.
  • the ligands of the present invention do not comprise complementary VH/V L pairs which bind any one or more antigens or epitopes co-operatively.
  • the ligands according to the invention comprise a VH/V L complementary pair, wherein the V domains have different specificities.
  • the ligands according to the invention comprise V H /V L complementary pairs having different specificities for non-structurally related epitopes or antigens.
  • Structurally related epitopes or antigens are epitopes or antigens which possess sufficient structural similarity to be bound by a conventional V H /VL complementary pair which acts in a co-operative manner to bind an antigen or epitope; in the case of structurally related epitopes, the epitopes are sufficiently similar in structure that they "fit" into the same binding pocket formed at the antigen binding site of the VH/V L dimer.
  • each single variable domain may be selected for binding to its target antigen or epitope in the absence of a complementary variable region.
  • the single variable domains may be selected for binding to its target antigen or epitope in the presence of a complementary variable region.
  • the first single variable domain may be selected in the presence of a third complementary variable domain
  • the second variable domain may be selected in the presence of a fourth complementary variable domain.
  • the binding activity of first (or second) variable domain may not be evident except in the presence of the complementary third (or fourth) variable domain.
  • the complementary third or fourth variable domain may be the natural cognate variable domain having the same specificity as the single domain being tested, or a non-cognate complementary domain - such as a "dummy" variable domain.
  • the single variable domains are derived from antibodies selected for binding activity against different antigens or epitopes.
  • the dual specific ligand of the invention comprises only two complementary variable domains although several such ligands may be incorporated together into the same protein, for example two such ligands can be incorporated into an IgG or a multimeric immunoglobulin, such as IgM.
  • a plurality of dual specific ligands are combined to form a multimer.
  • two different dual specific ligands are combined to create a tetra-specific molecule
  • Dual specific ligands may be combined into non-immunoglobulin multi-ligand structures to form multivalent complexes, which bind target molecules with increased avidity.
  • the V regions bind different epitopes on the same antigen, thereby providing superior avidity.
  • multivalent complexes may be constructed on scaffold proteins, as described in WO0069907 (Medical Research Council), which are based for example on the ring structure of bacterial GroEL or to other chaperone polypeptides.
  • variable regions of a dual-specific ligand produced according to the method of the present invention may be on the same polypeptide chain, or alternatively, on different polypeptide chains.
  • variable regions are on different polypeptide chains, then they may be linked via a linker, generally a flexible linker (such as a polypeptide chain), a chemical linking group, or any other method known in the art.
  • the first and the second antigen binding domains may be associated either covalently or non-covalently. In the case that the domains are covalently associated, then the association may be mediated for example by disulphide bonds.
  • the first and the second antigens or epitopes are different. They may be, or be part of, polypeptides, proteins or nucleic acids, which may be naturally occurring or synthetic. One skilled in the art will appreciate that the choice is large and varied. They may be for instance human or animal proteins, , cytokines, cytokine receptors, enzymes co-factors for enzymes or DNA binding proteins. Suitable cytokines and growth factors include but are not limited to: ApoE, Apo-SAA, BDNF, Cardiotrophin-1, EGF, EGF receptor, ENA- 78, Eotaxin, Eotaxin-2, Exodus-2, FGF-acidic, FGF-basic, fibroblast growth factor- 10 (30).
  • Cytokine receptors include receptors for the foregoing cytokines. It will be appreciated that this list is by no means exhaustive. Where the dual specific ligand binds to two epitopes (on the same or different antigens), the antigen(s) may be selected from this list. The antigens or epitopes may compete for binding to the dual-specific ligand, such that they may not both bind simultaneously. Alternatively, they may both bind simultaneously, such that the dual-specific ligand bridges the antigens or epitopes.
  • variable domains are derived from an antibody directed against the first and/or second antigen or epitope. In a preferred embodiment the variable domains are derived from a repertoire of single variable antibody domains.
  • the present invention provides a dual-specific ligand comprising a first single immunoglobulin variable domain having a first binding specificity and a complementary immunoglobulin single variable domain having a second binding specificity.
  • the dual-specific ligand according to the second aspect of the invention is obtainable by the method of the first aspect of the present invention.
  • the ligand comprises one single heavy chain variable domain of an antibody and one complementary single light chain variable domain of an antibody such that the two regions are capable of associating to form a complementary VH/NL pair.
  • a dual-specific ligand of this nature permits the two complementary variable region surfaces to pack together and be sequestered from the solvent and to help stabilise each other.
  • the dual specific ligand may comprise a first domain capable of binding a target molecule, and a second domain capable of binding a molecule or group which extends the half-life of the ligand.
  • the molecule or group may be a bulky agent, such as HSA or a cell matrix protein.
  • the dual specific ligand may be capable of binding the target molecule only on displacement of the half-life enhancing molecule or group.
  • a dual specific ligand is maintained in circulation in the bloodstream of a subject by a bulky molecule such as HSA.

  • the present invention provides one or more nucleic acid molecules encoding at least a dual-specific ligand as herein defined.
  • the dual specific ligand may be encoded on a single nucleic acid molecule; alternatively, each complementary domain may be encoded by a separate nucleic acid molecule.
  • the complementary domains may be expressed as a fusion polypeptide, in the manner of a scFv molecule, or may be separately expressed and subsequently linked together, for example using chemical linking agents. Ligands expressed from separate nucleic acids will be linked together by appropriate means.

  • the present invention relates to antibodies.
  • Complementary variable domains are combined to form a group of complementary domains; for example, VL domains are combined with VH domains. Domains may be combined in a number of ways, involving linkage of the domains by covalent or non-covalent means.
  • Domain A domain is a folded protein structure which retains its tertiary structure independently of the rest of the protein. Generally, domains are responsible for discrete functional properties of proteins, and in many cases may be added, removed or transferred to other proteins without loss of function of the remainder of the protein and/or of the domain.

  • Epitope A unit of structure conventionally bound by an immunoglobulin V H /V pair.

  • V H and/or V libraries may be selected against target antigens or epitopes separately, in which case single domain binding is directly selected for, or together.
  • a preferred method for making a dual specific ligand according to the present invention comprises using a selection system in which a repertoire of variable domains is selected for binding to a first antigen or epitope and a repertoire of variable domains is selected for binding to a second antigen or epitope. The selected variable first and second variable domains are then combined and the dual-specific selected for binding to both first and second antigen or epitope.
  • Bacteriophage lambda expression systems may be screened directly as bacteriophage plaques or as colonies of lysogens, both as previously described (Huse et al.

Furthermore, since the nucleotide sequence that encode the polypeptide library member is contained on a phage or phagemid vector, sequencing, expression and subsequent genetic manipulation is relatively straightforward.
  • RNA molecules are selected by alternate rounds of selection against a target ligand and PCR amplification (Tuerk and Gold (1990) Science, 249: 505; Ellington and Szostak (1990) Nature, 346: 818).

  • Genetic elements encoding a gene product having a desired activity are compartmentalised into microcapsules and then transcribed and/or translated to produce their respective gene products (R ⁇ A or protein) within the microcapsules.
  • Genetic elements which produce gene product having desired activity are subsequently sorted. This approach selects gene products of interest by detecting the desired activity by a variety of means.

  • PCR polymerase chain reaction
  • PCR is performed using template D ⁇ A (at least lfg; more usefully, 1-1000 ng) and at least 25 pmol of oligonucleotide primers; it may be advantageous to use a larger amount of primer when the primer pool is heavily heterogeneous, as each sequence is represented by only a small fraction of the molecules of the pool, and amounts become limiting in the later amplification cycles.
  • a typical reaction mixture includes: 2 ⁇ l of D ⁇ A, 25 pmol of oligonucleotide primer, 2.5 ⁇ l of 10X PCR buffer 1 (Perkin-Elmer, Foster City, CA), 0.4 ⁇ l of 1.25 ⁇ M dNTP, 0.15 ⁇ l (or 2.5 units) of Taq DNA polymerase (Perkin Elmer, Foster City, CA) and deionized water to a total volume of 25 ⁇ l.
  • Mineral oil is overlaid and the PCR is performed using a programmable thermal cycler. The length and temperature of each step of a PCR cycle, as well as the number of cycles, is adjusted in accordance to the stringency requirements in effect.
  • Annealing temperature and timing are determined both by the efficiency with which a primer is expected to anneal to a template and the degree of mismatch that is to be tolerated; obviously, when nucleic acid molecules are simultaneously amplified and mutagenized, mismatch is required, at least in the first round of synthesis.
  • the ability to optimise the stringency of primer annealing conditions is well within the knowledge of one of moderate skill in the art.
  • An annealing temperature of between 30 C and 72 °C is used.
  • Initial denaturation of the template molecules normally occurs at between 92°C and 99°C for 4 minutes, followed by 20-40 cycles consisting of denaturation (94-99°C for 15 seconds to 1 minute), annealing (temperature determined as discussed above; 1-2 minutes), and extension (72°C for 1-5 minutes, depending on the length of the amplified product).
  • Final extension is generally for 4 minutes at 72°C, and may be followed by an indefinite (0-24 hour) step at 4°C.
  • Domains according to the invention may be combined by a variety of methods known in the art, including covalent and non-covalent methods.
  • Preferred methods include the use of polypeptide linkers, as described, for example, in connection with scFv molecules (Bird et al, (1988) Science 242:423-426).

  • the "closed" configuration is that in which the two domains (for example V H and VL) are present in associated form, such as that of an associated VH-V L pair which forms an antibody binding site.
  • scFv may be in a closed or open conformation, depending on the arrangement of the linker used to link the V H and V domains.
  • a short or rigid linker may however be used to keep V H and V L domains apart, and prevent a closed conformation from forming.
  • Fab fragments and whole antibodies will exist primarily in the closed conformation, although it will be appreciated that open and closed dual specific ligands are likely to exist in a variety of equilibria under different circumstances. Binding of the ligand to a target is likely to shift the balance of the equilibrium towards the open, configuration.
  • the ligands according to the invention can exist in two conformations in solution, one of which (the open form) can bind two antigens or epitopes independently, whilst the alternative conformation (the closed form) can only bind one antigen or epitope; antigens or epitopes thus compete for binding to the ligand in this conformation.
  • the open form of the dual specific ligand may thus exist in equilibrium with the closed form solution, it is envisaged that the equilibrium will favour the closed form; moreover, the open form can be sequestered by target binding into a closed conformation.
  • the dual specific ligand of the invention is present in an equilibrium between two (open and closed) conformations.

  • stabilisation of V H -V L interactions with disulphide bonds stabilises the closed conformation.
  • linkers used to join the domains may be constructed such that the open from is favoured; for example, the linkers may sterically hinder the association of the domains, such as by incorporation of large amino acid residues in opportune locations, or the designing of a suitable rigid structure which will keep the domains physically spaced apart.

  • loop randomisation has the potential to create approximately more than 10 15 structures for H3 alone and a similarly large number of variants for the other five loops, it is not feasible using current transformation technology or even by using cell free systems to produce a library representing all possible combinations.
  • 6 x 10 10 different antibodies which is only a fraction of the potential diversity for a library of this design, were generated (Griffiths et al (1994) supra).
  • the binding site for the target is most often the antigen binding site.
  • the invention provides libraries of or for the assembly of antibody dual-specific ligands in which only those residues in the antigen binding site are varied. These residues are extremely diverse in the human antibody repertoire and are known to make contacts in high-resolution antibody/antigen complexes. For example, in L2 it is known that positions 50 and 53 are diverse in naturally occurring antibodies and are observed to make contact with the antigen. In contrast, the conventional approach would have been to diversify all the residues in the corresponding Complementarity Determining Region (CDR1) as defined by Kabat et al.
  • CDR1 Complementarity Determining Region
  • antibody diversity is the result of two processes: somatic recombination of germline V, D and J gene segments to create a naive primary repertoire (so called germline and junctional diversity) and somatic hypermutation of the resulting rearranged V genes.
  • somatic recombination of germline V, D and J gene segments to create a naive primary repertoire (so called germline and junctional diversity)
  • somatic hypermutation of the resulting rearranged V genes The analysis of human antibody sequences has shown that diversity in the primary repertoire is focused at the centre of the antigen binding site whereas somatic hypermutation spreads diversity to regions at the periphery of the antigen binding site that are highly conserved in the primary repertoire (see Tomlinson et al. (1996) J. Mol.
  • an initial 'naive' repertoire is created where some, but not all, of the residues in the antigen binding site are diversified.
  • the term "naive” refers to antibody molecules that have no pre-determined target. These molecules resemble those which are encoded by the immunoglobulin genes of an individual who has not undergone immune diversification, as is the case with fetal and newborn individuals, whose immune systems have not yet been challenged by a wide variety of antigenic stimuli.
  • This repertoire is then selected against a range of antigens or epitopes. If required, further diversity can then be introduced outside the region diversified in the initial repertoire. This matured repertoire can be selected for modified function, specificity or affinity.
  • the invention provides two different naive repertoires of binding domains for the construction of dual specific ligands, or a naive library of dual specific ligands, in which some or all of the residues in the antigen binding site are varied.
  • the "primary" library mimics the natural primary repertoire, with diversity restricted to residues at the centre of the antigen binding site that are diverse in the germline V gene segments (germline diversity) or diversified during the recombination process (junctional diversity).
  • residues which are diversified include, but are not limited to, H50, H52, H52a, H53, H55, H56, H58, H95, H96, H97, H98, L50, L53, L91, L92, L93, L94 and L96.
  • residues that are diversified during the recombination process include, but are not limited to: H31, H33, H35, H95, H96, H97, H98, L30, L31, L32, L34 and L96. All the residues listed above as suitable for diversification in these libraries are known to make contacts in one or more antibody-antigen complexes. Since in both libraries, not all of the residues in the antigen binding site are varied, additional diversity is incorporated during selection by varying the remaining residues, if it is desired to do so. It shall be apparent to one skilled in the art that any subset of any of these residues (or additional residues which comprise the antigen binding site) can be used for the initial and/or subsequent diversification of the antigen binding site.
  • diversification of chosen positions is typically achieved at the nucleic acid level, by altering the coding sequence which specifies the sequence of the polypeptide such that a number of possible amino acids (all 20 or a subset thereof) can be incorporated at that position.
  • the most versatile codon is NNK, which encodes all amino acids as well as the TAG stop codon.
  • the NNK codon is preferably used in order to introduce the required diversity.
  • Other codons which achieve the same ends are also of use, including the NNN codon, which leads to the production of the additional stop codons TGA and TAA.
  • a feature of side-chain diversity in the antigen binding site of human antibodies is a pronounced bias which favours certain amino acid residues. If the amino acid composition of the ten most diverse positions in each of the V H , V K and Y ⁇ regions are summed, more than 76% of the side-chain diversity comes from only seven different residues, these being, serine (24%), tyrosine (14%), asparagine (11%), glycine (9%), alanine (7%), aspartate (6%) and threonine (6%).
  • the codons (AGT)(AGC)T, (AGT)(AGC)C and (AGT)(AGC)(CT) - that is, DVT, DVC and DVY, respectively using IUPAC nomenclature - are those closest to the desired amino acid profile: they encode 22% serine and 11% tyro sine, asparagine, gly cine, alanine, aspartate, threonine and cysteine.
  • libraries are constructed using either the DVT, DVC or DVY codon at each of the diversified positions.

  • the clone containing both V K E5/C K and VH2/CH plasmids was then induced by IPTG to produce soluble V K E5/VH2 Fab fragments. Inductions were performed as described by Harrison et al, (1996), except that the clone was maintained in the media containing two antibiotics (100 ⁇ g/ml ampicillin and lO ⁇ g/ml chloramphenicol) and after the addition of IPTG the temperature was kept at 25 °C overnight.
  • V K E5/VH2 Fab was also purified from 50 ml supernatant using Protein A-
  • a competition ELISA was then performed to compare V K E5/VH2 Fab and V K E5/VH2 scFv binding properties.
  • a 96-well plate was coated with lOO ⁇ l of ⁇ -gal at lO ⁇ g/ml concentration in PBS overnight at 4°C.
  • V K E5/VH 2 Fab and V K E5/VH2 scFv supernatants were incubated for one hour at room temperature with 36, 72 and 180 ⁇ moles of either native APS or APS that was denatured by heating to 70°C for 10 minutes and then chilled immediately on ice.
  • 50 ⁇ l of the diluted V K E5/VH2 Fab and V K E5/VH2 scFv supernatants were incubated for one hour at room temperature with 36, 72 and 180 ⁇ moles of either native APS or APS that was denatured by heating to 70°C for 10 minutes and then chilled immediately on ice.
  • V K E5/VH2 scFv supernatants were subjected to the same incubation with either native or denatured BSA. Following these incubations the mixtures were then put onto a ⁇ -gal coated ELISA plate and incubated for another hour. Bound V K E5/N ⁇ 2 Fab and V K E5/N ⁇ 2 scFv fragments were detected with Protein A-HRP.
